More than Surfing
Since first being held (as the US Surfing Championships) in 1959, the US Open of Surfing has evolved into a week-long event. In addition to the title competition, the event also features outdoor concerts, skateboarding and BMX demonstrations and fashion shows. An estimated 500,000 spectators visit Huntington Beach to attend the events.http://www.usopenofsurfing.com/site6.aspx
